Public health officials in Quebec had been reluctant to do so, citing the huge amount of uncertainty involved in the calculations. Quebec released two scenarios about what could happen by April 30. Richard Massé, a senior public health advisor to the government, provided details about the projections at a news conference in Quebec City. "I don't want people to be alarmed by the pessimistic scenario," he said. Dr. Horacio Arruda, the province's top public health official, also said earlier today that Quebec is "closer to the optimistic scenario than the pessimistic one."
